“The farm has a reputation as being one of the most productive arable farms in north Suffolk, largely due to the care with which the farm has been managed which has included attention to land drainage and soil fertility.”
Soils on the farmland are Hanslope and Beccles Series - meaning cropping yields have been higher than average for many years. There has also been investment in drainage and buildings, said Strutt and Parker, which described the property as "exceptional".
Trinity Place, the principal farmhouse, includes comfortable family accommodation in a secluded location and includes gardens, a traditional barn, stabling and paddocks, it added.
Manor Farmhouse, the secondary house, is situated in a quiet setting with a range of barns, it said.
It offered "a rare opportunity" to acquire a productive and efficient arable farm with added amenity, all in a wonderfully quiet situation, said the agents.
